    Host a community building event

    And Indivisible will reimburse up to $1,000 for virtual and in-person events.

    Indivisible groups across the country have dedicated so much of their time and energy to engage people and move incredibly important issues forward. As a result, you’ve become important centers for civic engagement, shared learning, and for creating relationships within your community. We know how much work that takes, and we know that burnout is always a risk among group leaders and volunteers. So, we want to keep providing you with support so you can take some time from the organizing work and have fun -- the kind of stuff that strengthens solidarity between people that makes grassroots activism enjoyable.

    That's why we're continuing our largest-ever reimbursement program, IndivisiGather! 

    Your Indivisible group can access up to $1000 to cover the costs for FUN gatherings that help organize your group, build community, and lean into organizing basics–outside of any issue advocacy and political organizing. These gatherings can be structured around group retreats, barbecues, ice-cream socials, coffee chats, book clubs, game nights, beach gatherings, hikes, virtual get-togethers, etc. Whatever members of your group like to do that will help them recuperate, deepen their understanding around issues, and build on their friendships with each other,  find some time to do it together and IndivisiGather can help cover the costs!

    Deadline to Apply: The reimbursement form will be open until December 18th, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST. PLEASE NOTE: Requests submitted on the deadline will not be processed until early January 2025, so please plan your expenses accordingly.

  • Eligible Activities

    • What are Eligible Activities?

    This is an initiative of Indivisible Civics: a 501(c)(3). That means all events must have a primary purpose of civic education, e.g. nonpartisan issue discussions, policy education, & voter education (how to register, election dates). We will not be able to process reimbursements for events that included lobbying or partisan activity.

    You can use this reimbursement for supplies for any community-building event with your Indivisible group. Specific supplies may include food, snacks, renting space, other standard event supplies. If you’re planning a virtual event, you can consider dropping off treats, snacks, paying for lunch, speaker honorarium, etc.

    We want to support as many groups as possible with this initiative, so if you are finding any barriers to participating (e.g. concerns about the reimbursement timeline, the reimbursement cap, filling out the form, etc) please reach out to us at supportteam@indivisible.org or to your Indivisible Organizer so we can brainstorm solutions. 

    Sure! You can read our Events Ideas and Guidance resource for more thorough details on what event themes, activities, and expenses are eligible under this program. For convenience, you can reference this list of eligible expenses.

    The reimbursement is per Indivisible group, so if two groups are hosting an event together each group can request a reimbursement separately.

    Check out our GROW Grants program! You can apply for a grant for your group for any project that supports your capacity building or collaboration with other Indivisibles. If you think your gathering would be best used for grassroots advocacy/political activity, please consider applying for a GROW Grant to pay for your event.
